    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Project 700ES ( Revisited )

Had it out today all the squish is gone, the biggest improvement is when braking. So solid..

And that's an improvement solely from blocking off the anti-dive, or are you speaking to all the front-end changes you've made?

I'm trying to decide if the block-offs are worth it for my 1150.

Look great Joe.

Yes, but certainly the emulators helped the most, removing the anti-dives is mandatory when you install them. By removing them you have cleaned up and removed the additional brake line and bleeder, hence less areas to accumulate air. With new and better springs the forks will perform better putting less pressure on the brakes especially at high speed stops. If you do the block-offs you will need to replace the fork oil anyway, if it were me I would do new springs, block-offs and heavier weight oil at a minimum. If emulators are in your budget I highly recommend, I assure you will notice a remarkable difference.

I've got Racetechs and 15w oil in there now. The 1150 anti-dives have no additional brakeline, though.

Where do you get these block-offs?
